When her whimpers grow, I decide it’s time to wake her up. It’s gutting me, hearing her heart wrenching sounds.
I already know she’s been through hell. I could see it with my own two eyes.
“Arwen,cuore mio, wake up,” I murmur, smoothing out the hair falling in her eyes. “Come on, beautiful, open your eyes for me.”
Arwen slowly comes out of it, and when she does, her gaze locks right away with mine. She’s breathing harshly and tears well in her eyes. “I’m sorry,” she cries, twisting to bury her face in my shoulder and starts sobbing.
“Shh, calm down, baby, it’s okay. You’re okay. No one can harm you here. I promise,” I rasp, cupping the back of Arwen’s head as I rock sideways. I swear the day Arwen tells me what she’s been through, I’ll make sure whoever had hurt her regrets touching a hair on her head.
I think I need to talk to Danti. I know I promised Arwen I wouldn’t let her brother know where she’s at, but I want justice for her. This beautiful woman is mine now, and I’ll kill to keep her safe.
After what seems like hours of Arwen crying, she finally calms down and pushes away from my shoulder to meet my gaze once again.
“It’s gonna be okay,cuore mio,” I murmur.
“Make it go away,” she whispers.
“What do you mean, baby?” I ask, not understanding what she’s talking about.
“Make it go away, Cedric. Take the pain away. Please,” she says, tears still spilling down her cheeks.
Fuck me.
I’d do anything she asks if it means never seeing her cry again. “What can I do, Arwen? Tell me, and I’ll give you anything you want.”
Arwen sits up in my lap and straddles either side of my legs, bringing her hands to cup either side of my face. “Make love to me. Show me it’s not like what they did to me. That it can be beautiful and not painful.”
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
I didn’t see that one coming.
My dick twitches at the thought of being inside Arwen.
Staring into her eyes for a long moment, I see that she’s serious about this. I’ll make sure by the time I’m done with her, she’s feeling nothing but ecstasy from my touch.
Chapter Nine
Arwen
I must be all kinds of crazy for asking this man, a man I don’t even know to make love to me. I need him to do this. To show me it could be something other than pain. My nightmares have always been nothing but pain, the same as my life.
When it comes to Cedric, he brings out these feelings in me, and when he touches me, it’s almost like sparks of pleasure going down my spine. I love the way it feels.
Palming my ass cheeks in both of his hands, Cedric stands. I wrap my legs and arms around him like a spider monkey. With me in his arms, Cedric stalks to the door, and he opens it without a problem.
Cedric carries me down the hallway to his room and steps inside before closing the heavy door behind us. Twisting the lock, he places me on my feet and slides a hand up my spine until he reaches my neck, where he cups underneath my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze.
“We do this, Arwen, you’re mine. I won’t let you go,” he growls, guiding me backward toward the bed.
“I want this, Cedric. I know it sounds insane. But I trust you. I don’t know why. I just do. I feel something I don’t understand, and for once in my life, I want to go for something I want and not fear repercussions. I want you and I want to be yours.”
I barely get the last word out before Cedric’s lips are on mine.
My mouth opens under his, and he easily slides his tongue inside to dance with my own. This is my first kiss. Out of everything done to me, I’ve never been kissed.
Elated to be sharing this one thing with Cedric means everything to me.
I wrap my arms around his shoulders as he deepens the kiss, fusing our mouths together. I can’t help but moan at the feelings being unearthed inside me.
